This presentation takes a deep-dive into the methods that Savannah College of Art & Design (SCAD) uses in building its Drupal-powered platform, how we create rich interfaces with minimal long-term developer involvement, and how Drupal fits in to SCAD's overall digital strategy.

Learn how to setup a Drupal website as a SAML service provider and enable SSO authentication between Facebook, Twitter, Radius or other Drupal website users. We will cover back-end setup and configuration, load balancing pit falls, Drupal 6 and Drupal 7 set up, and more.

This is a supplemental meetup that differs from the main ADUG monthly meetups in that there's no set time or agenda. This is a very informal gathering for anyone who interested in Drupal and who wants to get in touch with other members of the local community. Bring your laptop down and show us what you're working on or just sit back with a cup of coffee and one of Mozart's great desserts and join the chat.

We will cover everything you need to know to get started with your own custom Drupal 8 theme. We will discuss best practices for:setting up a custom theme, organizing theme files, setting up Twig templates for pages, nodes, blocks and fields.
